Pros

People are friendly. Cafeteria onsite but most likely because you are too busy to leave and go out for lunch. Pay and benefits are mediocre.

Cons

Lots of turnover. They can't keep people and the good people that are staying are getting overworked and burned out. It would be appreciated if managers encouraged employees to take a full lunch and leave for work on time at 5. The stress of being overworked and working late all the time unpaid (salaried) makes it difficult to enjoy life outside of work. Show employees they are appreciated. If you can't provide raises, if we are working overtime consistently how about give us a few extra vacation days. Show us that you appreciate us not spending time with our families after 5:00 because we are sitting in our cramped cube working away unpaid.

Pros

Great insurance. Awesome people to work with and down to earth on the shop floor level. A place to get a start.

Cons

Horrible management. Total disconnect from the director and manager level. Absolutly zero support. The company lost their focus and forgot about the low man on the pole.

Pros

Best thing would be the team you work with. I loved my co-workers. They also had a great lunch room.

Cons

Upper management is absolutely ridiculous. They do not take the work you do into consideration. They push their employees hard just to get their bonus. They claim to be a family oriented company and they are not. Do not let them fool you. They would rather work you to death than to care for your own children when something is wrong. The pay is terrible. Pay at generac is about 2% under the normal rate of pay that you would get with a different company.
